Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is an important component of heart-healthy
whole grain diets because it contains β-glucan. All current US barley
varieties with high β-glucan are spring habit and have waxy starch. Winter
varieties have agronomic advantages but require low-temperature tolerance
(LTT). Vernalization sensitivity (VS) is associated with higher
levels of...

A set of flour samples with protein content ranging from 9.7 - 13.3 % was used for this study to evaluate the effectiveness of HMW-GS, SEHPLC and mixograph characteristics as screening tools for noodle texture. The sample set had a large variation in HMW-GS composition with Payne score ranging from...
Glutenin protein molecules can form a large "macropolymer" which forms the elastic component of the gluten complex in wheat flour doughs. Little work has been done to investigate relationships between glutenin macropolymer (GMP) and noodle processing. GMP was isolated from flour of 4 wheat varieties; 3 hard- and 1 soft-grained...
